Builds 1996 Moonglow Build (1 Viewer)

Got the rack on. After putting it all together in my living room last night, I realized I had the two side pieces reversed (no, I wasn't high).Took every bolt off and put on just a few crossbars this morning, put it on the truck and finished the install from there. The rack is extremely snug on the roof. As Prinsu themselves say: do NOT overtighten the brackets mounting the rack to the gutter. In other threads people seem to have problems bending the hardware, which will obviously happen if you tighten the living hell out of it. Snug is more than adequate. The rack isn't going anywhere. Overall I'm very pleased with the product as well as the customer service I received from Zach. Nice rack!

After a long time of searching all over the internet and US for a nice 80 series, it turned out that one just so happened to be a few hours away from me, and owned by someone on Mud no less! I picked up a sweet 1996 Moonglow Cruiser from @mel lowe and I couldn't be happier to finally have a truck that I've always wanted. I keep going outside just to stare at the rear sliding window (big fan since I was a kid).

So far she has a few things done to her, that can be seen on one of the PO's threads here on the forums. I don't have much else planned for her other than continual PM and some Toyo 285/75's very soon.

Just wanted to introduce myself, as all I do now is browse these forums day and night!

Those pictures look Orlando-ish...

Rack is complete overkill for transporting a 13 ft. kayak!

Your pics have such good color, they have a glow & warmth to them. What camera or filter do you use?

 

[DDabs]

I actually mainly just snap photos with my iPhone 6, and then use instagram to edit them. Pretty good software for quickly editing photos. I have an older Nikon D80 SLR that I play around with, but it's such a hassle to import photos onto my laptop and use photoshop.

@DDabs said "I realized I had the two side pieces reversed (no, I wasn't high)"

So, I finally received everything. Question for you, how do you know left side from right side? I don't want to make that mistake.

Nice rack Dave!! I am thinking of joining the club as well!

Great looking truck! Love the Moonglow. I used to be a white 80 fan (still am I guess) but I love my Moonglow. Such a cool color.

New meat! Finally, finally!!! Toyo Open Country AT II, 295/75/16.

Did you fix the brokers drivers side sway bar?

 

[DDabs]

Yeah. It was just the sway bar link, everything is solid now.
